Question

Snowline decides the limit of glacier work as an agent of erosion

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The snowline is the irregular boundary that separates the region which is covered with snow and that is free from snow. It is the region which is indicative of the area which has been covered with glacier erosion.

Answer 2

Answer:

A snow line is the lower topographic limit of the permanent snow cover of glacier or the mountain and is an irregular line that is found at the lower altitudes of the  glacier and above this is the line of the erman snow cover.

Explanation:

• The interplay of the snow lines varies with the altitudes and the latitudes of the various places on the globe and it is less near the equator and is more as we move towards the poles. As in the tropics of the Capricorn, no permanent snowline exists as the extreme conditions the aridity of the Andes mountain.

• The glacial equilibrium line os thus denoted as the point of translation form accumulation and the ablation zone this depends on the thickness of the glacier and the amount of the snowfall. and is determined by the actual mass of ice in either zone.

• Thus the work of the glacier as an agent of erosion is limited to area s confined by the snow line as the impact of climate change the glaciers are melting fast and hence their erosive power is declining fast.
